Acrobat

From DictionGloss

A product from Adobe Systems, Inc. which converts text documents, word for word, image for image, into fully --searchable electronic documents. The electronic document, with the exact look and feel of the original but with added hyperlinks, is stored in PDF (Portable Document Format). The PDF document can be viewed and printed with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. The conversion process involves printing, from any word processor or application package, to an Adobe PDF Writer printer driver, rather than printing to a physical printer. The driver stops and asks where you wish to store the PDF document. Links, table of contents and other easy-to-create features are done with Adobe's Acrobat Exchange. The latest revision of Acrobat’s PDF format- version 7, includes the ability to incorporate 3D models with animation or interactivity attached. The 3D format built into the PDF format is based on the U3D (Universal 3D) format.
